Honestly not really, but it's just about the best place in the city to let it ride.

During their visit, the EU Heads of Mission will meet with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and participate in ministerial roundtables on trade and investment, clean energy, critical raw materials, as well as research and innovation opportunities under the Horizon Europe programme.

While in Winnipeg, the EU Heads of Mission will also have the opportunity to exchange views with the Business Council of Manitoba and the Indigenous Chamber of Commerce, as well as tour the Canadian NORAD Headquarters and CentrePort Canada - a key hub for international trade. The EU Heads of Mission will also meet with representatives of their communities in Manitoba.

Yeah, from what I've gathered from previous articles on the topic, CSIS does not have boots-on-the-ground spies, foreign assets, or the infrastructure to support them.

Assuming stardates happen sequetionally

No

I have to admit, I'm a little uncomfortable with this one - expropriation is a pretty extreme measure, and more housing is needed.

But I have no skin in this game, the details are obviously pretty complex, and it seems like a pretty unique situation.

Then we should be tracking down and firing everyone involved from all parties?

Yup.

In this case, I think there might be a case to be made.

"The prosecutor would be, I think, concerned … if the investigation was still going on behind the scenes, without them being looped in, while they're trying to prosecute a case," said Michael Arntfield, a criminologist and professor at Western University who worked for 16 years as a detective with the London Police Service in Ontario.

"If they say they can't interview him, that to me sounds like they've taken direction either from the Crown or from superior officers to not potentially interfere with the prosecution."

Sure, I just don't find "everybody does it" to be a particularly compelling argument. Wrong is wrong.

Absolutely. It's beyond me why someone would be against a hearing taking place, considering a "no" would be practically guaranteed in cases like these.

Carney said they’ve been “reassigned” within the campaign.

Not nearly enough.

Is it safe to say that casual use of the notwithstanding clause has been normalized to the point that there are no real consequences to invoking it any more?

I don't know much about military training, but I do know that grouping students into "squadrons" is done today - I don't know that the grouping is based on anything, but it makes a certain kind of sense that Starfleet would embrace a kind of "meritocracy" approach to it, even if it also comes off as elitist.

Perhaps Nova Squadron is a long-held academy tradition, and despite the initial fallout of the 2368 incident, that’s overshadowed by its long history of outstanding cadets, a legacy the academy didn’t want to suddenly erase.

I think this is likely. Scandals come and go, but they often don't overpower institutional inertia.
